Leading environmentalist and former US Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader has named a book co-edited by University of Surrey academic Geoffrey Hunt as one of his top ten summer reads.

Nanotechnology-Risk, Ethics and Law is edited by Geoffrey Hunt and Michael Mehta (Earthscan, 2007). This latest volume in a series of Science in Society produced by the James Martin Institute at Oxford University provides an excellent overview for interested citizens on the risks, ethics and law behind nanotechnology.

Ralph Nader’s blog states: we better get up to speed on this portentous, unregulated, largely invisible technology as nanotechnology moves swiftly into consumer and other commercial products and begins what editor Hunt calls "the journey of finding its space within the social imaginary."
